Design Workshop Outcomes Report 1

1 INTRODUCTION

A Design Workshop was held on Saturday 14 May 2016 at the City of Stirling Reception Hall, to consider

development and built form opportunities and planning framework for the future of the Stirling City Centre Northern

Precinct Local Development Plan.

A total of 50 people signed in as attendees, in addition to the Mayor of the City of Stirling, three (3) City of Stirling

Councillors, one (1) Member of Parliament, and five (5) members of the City’s Administration. Two (2)

representatives from Taylor Burrell Barnett assisted in the presentation and workshop facilitation on the day.

1.1 THE STUDY AREA

The Northern Precinct is generally bound by Mitchell Freeway to the west, Karrinyup Road to the north, Ravel Lane

to the east, and Civic Place to the south. The Precinct area generally contains established residential development,

the Osborne Park Hospital, and a number of public open space reserves.

1.2 TAYLOR BURRELL BARNETT AND JACOBS

Taylor Burrell Barnett Town Planning and Design (TBB) and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (Jacobs) as a co-

consultant were successful in tendering for preparing the Northern Precinct Local Development Plan, on behalf of

the City of Stirling.

Both TBB and Jacobs have been engaged in a number of similar projects for the City of Stirling and for similar local

governments throughout Western Australia.

1.3 BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT

The Northern Precinct is identified as a part of the Stirling City Centre, which is subject to a Structure Plan (adopted

by the Council on 9 December 2014). The Stirling City Centre Structure Plan is divided into six precincts, including

the Northern Precinct.

The Structure Plan requires the preparation of a Local Development Plan (LDP) (formerly referred to as Detailed Area

Plans) for each precinct within the Stirling City Centre, in accordance with the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 3.

The LDP will apply to all development and subdivision applications within the boundaries of the Northern Precinct.

LDPs are structured within the Stirling City Centre to provide general development provisions on:

• Built Form and Design;

• Streetscape Relationship; and

• Public Realm

The City has already prepared and adopted a number of LDPs for several precincts including Innaloo and Woodlands.

This Design Workshop represents the beginning of designing and preparing an LDP for the Northern Precinct.

2 Northern Precinct Local Development Plan

2 WORKSHOP PROCESS

The Design Workshop, held on 14 May 2016, was the second phase of the community’s involvement in the

preparation of the new Northern Precinct Local Development Plan (LDP). The Design Workshop followed a Vision

Workshop held in March 2016. The LDP will be considered in conjunction with the City’s Scheme and the Stirling

City Centre Structure Plan.

The Design Workshop was facilitated by the City of Stirling and TBB, with a presentation made by City and TBB

representatives. The presentation outlined the following:

• Context – global and national trends;

• The existing Northern Precinct context;

• Identification of development opportunities for Osborne Park Hospital, Land Use, Built Form and Public Realm.

2.1 WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

The Design Workshop was held to identify development opportunities and the development framework required to

guide the future of the Northern Precinct, which will be incorporated into the LDP. The Workshop involved two

exercises relating to Movement, Osborne Park Hospital, Open Space and Land Use, and Built Form. The issues and

opportunities were considered by participants.

The outcomes of the Design Workshop will be used to inform the design response formulation process and a

Community Information Open Day in June 2016.

2.2.2 REGISTRATION

Community participants were invited by the City to register for the workshop. 50 people registered at the workshop.

In addition to community participants were the City’s staff, elected members and consultants who were available to

present and/or facilitate at the tables during the workshop.

2.2.3 VENUE

The City of Stirling Reception Hall was set up with tables seating approximately 7 people each. City staff and their

consultants were facilitators for each table to coordinate comments for the feedback exercises during the workshop.

A PowerPoint presentation was used for the workshop session, to outline the process for the workshop, and to map

out issues and opportunities as a means of conveying the principles to the participants.

2.2.4 PROCESS

The process of the Workshop was to provide a visual presentation to the attendees, who were seated at facilitated

tables. The tables were provided with A3 sheets of paper on which the development opportunities (Osborne Park

Hospital, Public Realm, Movement Network, Land Use, Built Form) were printed and a full A1 plan for information.

The workshop then methodically went through presentations on these elements, with two facilitated feedback

sessions. The workshop concluded and all notes on the A3 sheets were collected by TBB and analysed. A

registration list was collected by the City of Stirling.


3 DESIGN WORKSHOP

3.1 PRESENTATION

A full copy of the PowerPoint presentation is provided in Appendix B, which was delivered at the Workshop.

3.2 SUMMARY

Mayor Giovanni Italiano JP welcomed all attendees and Fraser Henderson opened the Workshop.

The Workshop was set up to present a background to the project and a range of development scenarios. The

Workshop then split up into two exercises, undertaken sequentially. The first covered development opportunities

and scenarios for the Osborne Park Hospital Open Space Strategy and Movement Network. This session was

concluded with a feedback session in which each table provided a summary of their discussion to the wider

audience. The second presentation addressed opportunities and scenarios for Land Use and Built Form for the

Precinct. This presentation was also concluded with a feedback session by the tables.

Fraser Henderson explained the global and national trends pertaining to demographics, environmental

considerations, and transport.

Karen Hyde of TBB explained the purpose of the Design Workshop and provided a recap on the outcomes of the

Community Vision Workshop. Ben De Marchi of TBB presented on development scenarios for Osborne Park

Hospital, Open Space and Management and opportunities were then highlighted with a series of plans, images and

graphics. Workshop participants were invited to comment on height and density of development at Osborne Park

Hospital, various movement elements including public transport, footpaths and bike paths. Public Realm and Open

Space opportunities were discussed including the streetscapes, open spaces, linkages (path networks), and

vegetation, with queries on what made a sense of place for the precinct. Participants could also comment on land

use elements such as the range of land uses and residential and mixed use development typologies, density, and

activating land uses at ground level.

Workshop Exercise 1 followed. Feedback from groups was provided (refer section 3.3 and Appendix A).

Ben De Marchi then gave a presentation on Land Use and Built Form. This was visually presented with a series of

graphics. Built form discussions addressed height, density, scale, architectural qualities, and how building controls

should be considered.

Workshop Exercise 2 followed. Feedback from groups was provided (refer section 3.3 and Appendix A).

The Workshop concluded with a discussion on the next steps in the process, including the proposal for a

Community Information Open Day which is anticipated to be undertaken in June 2016.

3.3 WORKSHOP FEEDBACK

The following section provides a summary of the feedback provided by attendees.


3.3.1 SESSION 1 - OSBORNE PARK HOSPITAL

Question Feedback Commentary

What building heights do you envisage for the Hospital Site?

• Height would be relevant to use of hospital, form will follow function.

• Homes don't want to be overlooked.

• Some attendees stated 3-4 storeys is strong preference as maximum. Others felt 4-5 stories and possibly higher up to 8 storeys could be acceptable if well designed.

Where would you like to see landmark built form/ additional height on the Hospital Site?

• Planning could explore options for height along south of site and western edge and possibly near freeway.

• Height located away from existing residential area.

• Landmark away from Elton. Better on Civic Place frontage.

What sort of Open Spaces would you like to see created and have access to?

• Encourage a mixed population (young children, adults, aged, etc).

• Provide activity within parks.

• There was support for public plaza but some mixed views on a centrally



located open space. Some wished to see more central open space, others stated more detail was required before commenting.

• Flexibility of use to accommodate needs of all, e.g. walking dogs/ jogging.

• Open space should be appealing to community.

• Maintain bushland as much as possible, investigate quality of remnant vegetation and retain quality specimens. May be white tailed cockatoo habitat.

• Leave some open space as a relaxing place.

• 10% POS needed for precinct as minimum in hospital or elsewhere. Could hand it over for POS.

• Cafes/hubs for staff, visitors and local residents.

• Mix - medium scale like Stirling Gardens - something for everyone. Car parking, plaza-type uses (seats, cafes).

• Leisure circuit connecting green areas for recreation along periphery.

• Shared open spaces for hospital and community.

What sort of land uses would you like to see devleoped on the Hospital Site?

• Multi-storey carparks are preferred to grade parking but we should encourage transport (public) not more car parking.

• Uses supporting small business.

• Crèche, daycare

• Sleeve multi deck or basement carpark behind other uses.

• Elton towards Bajada should focus on more green civic, cafes and other active land uses. Large wide spaces to invite people to enter and enjoy as a community, better ped/cycle movement corridors.

• Need to cater for staff accommodation and visitor's families.

• Concern we don't have enough information about hospital to accurately answer this question, including plans for redevelopment of site (e.g. carpark coming in next few months).

Most attendees comments agreed with the list of land uses proposed at the Workshop and provided additional suggestions.

Regocnition that emergency services may be located at the hospital in the future due to overall increase in regional population. There was some concern regardibng potential impacts, traffic, anti-social behaviour.


3.3.2 SESSION 1 - OVERALL PRECINCT PUBLIC REALM/PUBLIC OPEN SPACE


What are your preferences for the Open Space Strategy?

• Generally, Option 3 was preferred but concern over resuming land.

• Some tables preferred Option 1 as it reduced the need to acquire residential land. The need for extra parkland could be provided on the Hospital Site if this could be agreed with the Hospital.

Mixed views were given on preferences for the Open Space/ Public Realm Options 1, 2 3, particularly related to the expansion of existing pocket parks on Bajada which required some land acquisition.



What are your thoughts on the provision of active and passive spaces?

• Active kickabout

• Ball courts

• Children's play

• Skate park

• Passive spaces

• Picnic places

• Community event space

• Privately developed/ publicly accessible in mixed use locations.

• Smaller pocket parks not valued, support amalgamation.

• Additional tree cover required.

• Community gardens.

• Coxon Place reserve is useless and unneeded.

• More dog bins, empty more frequently.

• Provide a fenced off dog park somewhere.

• Bajada Reserve - a size similar to Osborne Place reserve.

• A place for children.

• A place for socialising.

• Safe.

• Move Laga Court reserve to Dennis Street.

• Keep play areas simple.

• Serve all residents.

• Encourage public/private space, use shared communal open space or commercial/residential developments.

• Stirling Civic Gardens are well used, only issue is busy road (Cedric Street) crossing.

• Skate park, well landscaped and away from residential and make sure good parking and access.

• Need for acquisition on Bajada not required if hospital well used.

• Multi use on parks.

• All parks should be well maintained.

• Retain existing native trees.

• Attendees generally supported the types of uses identified in the Workshop question and in addition,

• Examples of good local parks include:

• Stirling Civic Gardens

• Mitchell Park, Innaloo

• Millett Park, Huntriss Street.


3.3.3 SESSION 1 - OVERALL PRECINCT MOVEMENT NETWORK


In the Laneway precinct what improvement/ redevelopment of public realm would you like to see?

• Need a tree canopy, and species which thrive in urban environment but needs trees with limited mature height with good canopy for walking under.

In laneway, residential and transit boulevard, comments generally supported improvements to footpaths, on road cycling and additional tree planting.

In the residential streets what treatments would you like?

• More trees.

• Remove signage.

• Underground power.

• Paths, parking.

• Trees that don't break paths and last/live longer.

• Need on-street parking bays with trees in nibs (but right trees).

• 'Home zone' good idea.



In the mixed use locations and Transit Boulevard what treatment would you like?

• 'Homezone' streets in culs-de-sac and Bader would be good and Laneway streets.

• Slow traffic down in Hugo if bus service relocated.

• More trees.

• Cycle path - can be shared.

• On street cycling.

• Tram stop build platform up so you walk straight out, not step down.

• Expedite Elton Road improvements. Arrange traffic flow so streets are quieter.

• Consider one way for Osborne Place from Karrinyup.

Besides the Commuter Cycle Paths, would you like to see other recreational paths for cycling?

• Civic Place and Karrinyup Road - wider paths for peds and cycles - better safety.

• No, Herdsman Lake, John Forrest National Park suitable for that.

• Shared path along Mitchell Freeway - remove old asbestos fence and put up decent noise wall, support underpass corner Mitchell Freeway and Karrinyup Road.

There were mixed views, some were supportive of additional recreational paths, others were not in a suburban setting.


3.3.4 SESSION 2 - OVERALL PRECINCT BUILT FORM


Overall Precinct • Landmark sites - not 10 storeys in general but some possibly along the edge.

• 3-4 storeys acceptable.

• 5 storeys on corner sites and some landmark sites.

• Concern re viability of lot amalgamation.

• Would like to be able to redevelop individual lots for a small number of dwellings - majority.

• Karrinyup Road possibly 6-8 storeys.

• Greatest height near train station.

• Need diversity and affordability provisions, e.g. 30% single bedroom.

• Maybe Dennis and Elton could be 4 storey mixed use.

• Landmarks need high quality design.

• Consider impact of overshadowing.

• Min of 1000 m2 for 3 storeys is a good guide.

• Zero side setback for mixed use acceptable so in mixed use open smaller lots can be redeveloped.

Comments received on the options presented are included in the commentary below. There were mixed views on heights, some were keen to explore opportunities for height on landmark sites and in general, others felt there should be limits in transitional areas and in residential streets. General support for height range but some felt the range in option 3 was too great.



• Consider guidance for residential height and mixed use height as separate.

• Agree with all storeys as long as design is good.

• 3 storeys opposite residential and fourth set back.

• Parking critical - needs to be built into planning process, e.g. build under buildings etc. Developers will go for cheaper option. Council must also provide parking. Get regulations right.

• Community input into parking policy desirable.

• Hugo Street mixed use and height 4/5 and more height.

• Consider micro lot development office/mix.

• Get built form right - Civic Place is very bland.

• Include terraced housing.

• More trees in street required.

• Need good design guide.

• Mixed built form in street blocks.

Laneway Sub-Precinct • Long term potential for redevelopment as per Option 2 or 3 but nothing viable in the short term.

There was a broad range of views on the Laneway options and many found it difficult to visualise given the fairly new conditions and small lot configuration of the existing development. Some felt that in 30 years redevelopment may occur.


3.3.5 SESSION 2 - OVERALL PRECINCT LAND USE


What locations are appropriate for mixed use development?

• Mixed use along transit route supported.

• Mixed use/commercial along Karrinyup Road (although some comments indicated there was not support for mixed use in this location).

• Stand-alone commercial ok along Karrinyup Road with suitable parking - no overflow.

• Appropriate around tram stops

• Support on corner sites with feature buildings.

• Support mixed uses along Civic Place.

• Encourage planning framework that allows mixed use over time (adaptability).

• Elton towards Bajada, more green, civic, cafes and other active land uses.

There was general support for the mixed use locations identified on the plans, but with a focus on 'gateway' and transit locations initially.

What type of uses would you like to see developed?

• Uses associated with the hospital

• Small scale offices

• Home based business

• Cafes, eateries

• Small shops, convenience shops

• Medical centre.

• Mixed use site/home business.

• Training university and associated uses, dormitory/student residences, bookshop, cardiologist.

• Post office, service (Australia Post or newsagency).

• Small scale offices and home offices.

• Gift shop.

• Cafes and eating.

Most attendees comments agreed with the list of land uses proposed at the workshop in addition to feedback suggestions.


4 THE WAY FORWARD

4.1 FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMENT

Further opportunities for community involvement and feedback have been identified. A timeline is provided as

follows:

• May/June 2016 Finalise Plan

• June 2016 Open Day

• July 2016 City to approve Plan for purpose of advertising

• November 2016 Formal advertising and Council approval of Plan.

In particular, at the Community Information Open Day, the general vision and design element will be tested.


5 CONCLUSION

This Design Workshop Outcomes Report contains the methodology of the workshop and how it was facilitated. It

demonstrates that a high turnout of participants helped determine opportunities that should be given due

consideration in the preparation of the Northern Precinct LDP.

The participants have provided meaningful feedback on the four themes of Osborne Park Hospital, Movement

Network, Land Use, Built Form and Public Realm.

A general vision has been formulated as an outcome of analysing the feedback from the participants at the Vision

Workshop. The vision considered is:

The Northern Precinct will become an integrated mixed use precinct for live-work opportunities and a focus on the

Osborne Park Hospital, with safe and efficient access to public transport, providing a strong community character

within a leafy green environment.

At the Community Information Open Day, this general vision will again be tested and validated with participants.


APPENDIX A WORKSHOP FEEDBACK SHEETS


APPENDIX B WORKSHOP PRESENTATION

SESSION 1: HOSPITAL

a) Heights

• What building heights do you envisage for the Hospital site? • Where would you like to see land mark built form / additional height on the hospital site? • Mark up the plan

Table 1 • Heights along Civic supported. • Explore options along western edge.

Table 2 • Value open space. • 4-5 possibly higher and well designed. • Height located away from existing residential area.

Table 3 • 3-4 storeys is strong preference as maximum.

Table 4 • -

Table 5

• Generally (hospital and general built form) - 2-4 storeys (max 5). • Height would be relevant to use of hospital from will follow function. • Local member has not been approach regarding hospital. • Homes don't want to be overlooked. • Where surrounded by open space. • One person as no houses nearby, not affected.

Table 6 • Height 5-6 storeys - poss additional near freeway.

b) Public Open Space What sort of Open Spaces would you like to see created and have access to?

Table 1

• Current level is ok for current population (if hospital is available). • Encourage a mixed population (young children, adults, aged, etc.). • Maintain existing small parks (allows all areas to have access to a park). • Provide activity within parks.

Table 2

• Along periphery. • Relaxation Retention of natural bushland. • Lack of consensus about centrally located POS. • Support for public plaza. • Flexibility of use to accommodate needs of all, e.g. walking dogs/jogging.

Table 3 • Appealing to community. • Maintain bushland as much as possible. • Leave as a relaxing place.

Table 4 • 10% POS needed for precinct as minimum in hospital or elsewhere. Could hand it over for POS. • Cafes/hubs for staff, visitors and local residents.

Table 5 • Mix - medium scale Stirling Gardens - something for everyone. Car parking, plaza-type uses (seats, cafes).

Table 6 • Investigate quality of remnant vegetation quality specimens. • Circuit connecting green areas for recreation.

c) Land use What sort of land uses would you like to see developed on the hospital site?

Table 1

• Support landmark corner buildings (scale unlimited/height is not the issue). • Design is critical (each site is to be accessed including dually). • Option 3 a little too large scale - like the idea of Option 2. • Like amalgamation of lots (flexibility of design). • Concern with limiting potential over a longer timeframe. • Design features are critical (sized and scale are less important). • Support on corner sites with feature buildings. • Council missed an opportunity in the laneway precinct. • Support mixed uses along Civic Place. • Concern with pocket park near transport hub - should allow mixed use to prevent antisocial

behaviour. • Laneway precinct to be same as rest of area. • Density versus building bulk - assess design, traffic, etc. is more important. • 2-4 storeys is more 'residential' in character; 5-6 storeys is more 'commercial' in character. • Encourage transport (public) not more car parking. • Encourage planning framework that allows mixed use to adapt over time. • Mixed uses along Karrinyup Road not supported. • Concern about single lots left after other lots have been amalgamated. Need flexibility but

protect amenity.

Table 2 • No Comments

Table 3

• Supporting small business. • External = longer trading hours for community use. • Concerned with possibility of Emergency Department. • Concern State Government may sell site.

Table 4 • Multi-storey car parks. • Old building multi-storey car park on remediated tip (Barry) with transit link.

Table 5 • -

Table 6

• Crèche, day care • Landmark away from Elton. Better on Civic frontage. • Sleeve multi deck or basement carpark. • Elton towards Bajada, move green civic, cafes after active land uses. Lose and wide enough to

invite better ped/cycle movement corridors.

General Comments

Table 4

• Emergency services will be required due to increased population. Multi-storey developments and multi-storey car park. Impact on residents - traffic.

• Height can be high 8-storeys but will need transition. • Need to cater for staff accommodation and visitor's families. • Mike's house shown as POS - why hospital land can't be used for POS instead. • Shared open spaces for hospital and community.

Table 5

• Approximate location for additional height (only because in open space - contingent on location of open space/designed with open space).

• Concern we don't have enough information about hospital to accurately answer this question, including plans for redevelopment of site (e.g. car park coming in next few months).

• Concerns over white-tail cockatoos.

Summary of Statements from Vision Workshop Taylor Burrell Barnett - Karen Hyde

Movement and Land Use Issues and Opportunities Improve pedestrian access/ footpaths in and around the precinct especially at road crossings Improve access to Stirling Station Manage/limit street parking and hospital parking overspill Support cycle routes Support for transit in road reserves Quiet, slow streets More trees and verge greening Encourage redevelopment of vacant land Make better use of and improve recreational assets and parks Encourage use of Hospital open spaces and retention of remnant vegetation ‘Health hub’ opportunity Maintain community feel and character including quiet streets Focus mix use areas and consider compatibility with residential Opportunities for farmers markets, space for community event, shops cafes, and some small scale

employment uses Encourage higher density residential, some areas 5, 8 storeys or more Opportunities for live/work and short stay accommodation, apartments, smaller dwellings, more

affordable housing options

Summary of Statements from Vision Workshop

Built Form and Public Realm Issues and Opportunities

Flexibility in considering height

Architectural/design guidance important but not too restrictive

Built form variety and articulation

Encourage long term redevelopment of laneway precinct

Opportunities for height near open spaces and closer to Stirling City Centre

Manage transition

Maintain privacy

Improve lighting, signage, shade , shelter, comfort

Larger, more usable parks

More tree canopy, high quality vegetation, landscape strategy, well maintained

Potential for water features

A Vision Statement

“The Northern Precinct will become an integrated mixed use precinct for live-work opportunities and a focus on the Osborne Park Hospital, with safe and efficient access to public transport, providing a strong community character within a leafy green environment”

Landmark Sites 10 storeys* > 2,000m2

12 storeys* > 2,500m2

16 storeys* > 3,000m2

* Subject to Performance Criteria

Laneway Sub-Precinct Scenarios

Scenario Redevelopment Opportunities Option 1 No additional redevelopment opportunities Option 2 Additional redevelopment opportunities around the frame Option 3 Significant redevelopment of the whole precinct

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3

Residential Density/Diversity Housing Diversity (i.e. Townhouse, Apartment, Single House)

Density doesn’t mean excessive height/overbearing intensity

New development creates diversity for a wider group of people and households

Residential (2 Storey) Residential (3 Storey) Mixed Use (4-5 Storey)

Residential with Mixed Use (3 to 4 storeys)

Residential Built Form (4 to 6 storeys)

Residential Built Form (6 – 11 storeys)

Residential Laneway Built Form (3 to 4 storeys)

Mixed-Use Buildings

Workshop Session 2 – 45 minutes then 10 minutes feedback Land Use & Built Form Scenarios

THINGS TO CONSIDER: Preferences for Height Options – Options 1, 2, 3 Preferences for Laneway Sub-Precinct Redevelopment Options Preferences for Mixed Use locations Land Use Mix around the Hospital (where) Thoughts on Land Use along laneways
